Chapter 272 Test
Zheng Xun was not at all panicked when he heard this, he just smiled and said: "Then it depends on Master Huo's own preferences."
Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes: "You are calm!"
"What? Could it be that Master Huo is upset to see me in such a panic?" Zheng Xun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"That's not necessary!" Huo Xifei snorted and laughed, "If the famous Ghost Face were to panic one day, I'm afraid countless people would be shocked!"
"Oh!" Zheng Xun curled his lips: "Thank you for the compliment!"
"But I never thought that one day I would see that the ghost face that once terrified everyone would also have such an affectionate side!" Before Huo Xifei finished speaking, he withdrew the sword with his right hand, and suddenly sprinkled a handful of powder with his left hand, and rushed straight to Zheng Xun's face.
Zheng Xun had seen Huo Xifei retract his sword and was about to take the opportunity to escape, but he accidentally inhaled the powder that Huo Xifei sprinkled at him and suddenly became unstable.
"You're so despicable! You actually attacked me again!" Zheng Xun struggled to hold onto the wall, glaring at Huo Xifei with gritted teeth. He was secretly terrified. He was afraid Huo Xifei knew everything he and Cui Ruxu had just said in the room. But what had happened? He clearly didn't notice anyone around him at the time, so how did Huo Xifei know?
Zheng Xun became a little more wary of Huo Xifei. A child from such a famous family, with such abilities, was truly intimidating!
"I've said before, whether one does what a gentleman does depends on the person!" Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"Hmph!" Zheng Xun was unable to move and glared at Huo Xifei fiercely.
"Huo Da, take him to the carriage. Huo Er is there." Huo Xifei ordered, "You and Huo Er stay by the carriage. I'll be there in a moment."
The outer wall of the Yuan Mansion faces an empty alley. It is late at night and there is no one around. A four-wheeled carriage can be vaguely seen at the entrance of the alley.
"Yes!" Huo Da responded hurriedly. Huo Da was also very curious about Huo Xifei's mysterious appearances, but he knew that this was not something a subordinate like him should ask, so he saluted Huo Xifei, grabbed Zheng Xun's collar, lifted him up, and went to the entrance of the alley.
"Brother Xi!" Yuan Ziyu walked out from the darkness.
"You'er!" Huo Xifei heard Yuan Ziyou's voice, turned around and took Yuan Ziyou's hand, saying softly, "Thank you for your hard work tonight!"
Yuan Ziyou smiled and shook his head, looking towards the entrance of the alley: "Brother Xi, what are you going to do with this person?"
"Does You'er have any ideas?"
"Brother Xi, this person is the one that my cousin has chosen. If..." Yuan Ziyou sighed, "I'm afraid my cousin will be sad!"
"I understand!" Huo Xifei said, "But, he has committed too many murders. If there is no room for change, I'm afraid your cousin will be heartbroken."
Yuan Ziyou frowned slightly upon hearing this and looked at Huo Xifei: "Brother Xi, is there really no room for maneuver?"
"Not necessarily!" Huo Xifei said, "But I need to talk to him to find out the truth."
"Then..." Yuan Ziyu wanted to say something, but he knew that there were some things that he could not interfere with, so he did not continue.
Huo Xifei said, "You'er, I understand what you mean. I will do my best, of course, without violating the principles."
"Okay!" Yuan Ziyou nodded: "Thank you, Brother Xi!"
"Silly girl, why are you saying thank you to me?" Huo Xifei smiled and touched the top of Yuan Ziyu's head: "It's late, go back and get some rest!"
"Yeah!" Yuan Ziyou nodded: "Don't overwork yourself. Remember to drink the spring water I gave you!"
"Don't worry, I won't forget!"
Yuan Ziyu smiled when he heard this, jumped lightly, and leaped onto the top of the wall. He waved to Huo Xifei and jumped into the Yuan Mansion.
Huo Xifei watched Yuan Ziyu return to the Yuan Mansion before leaving the alley.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, a carriage stopped at the gate of a courtyard. Huo Da took Zheng Xun out of the carriage and quickly entered the courtyard. Huo Er waited until Huo Xifei also got off the carriage and entered the courtyard, and then he drove away in the carriage.
This is an independent courtyard. Although there are houses around the courtyard, no one lives there, forming an independent space.
Huo Da carried Zheng Xun into the house quickly and threw him onto the open space in the house.
Zheng Xun's back hit the ground, and he frowned in pain. He endured the pain in his back and looked around the room.
At this time, Huo Da had already lit the candles in the room, and the room suddenly became bright, and Zheng Xun could see the whole picture of the room clearly.
This is a very simply furnished room, with just a desk, a few armchairs, and a folding fan screen in front of the door.
After seeing the appearance of the house clearly, Zheng Xun calmed down and lay quietly on the ground, waiting for Huo Xi to fly in.
"You seem to be quite easy-going!" As soon as Huo Xifei entered the room, he saw Zheng Xun's calm face and sneered.
"What else can we do? Are we still crying?" Zheng Xun sneered, "I'm really surprised. The commander of the Imperial Guard, the prince of the Xuanping Marquisate, didn't send me, a high-ranking criminal of the imperial court, to the government office. Instead, he sent me to this small courtyard. I don't understand. I don't know what Prince Huo is up to!"
"Why don't you tell me first, what are your intentions in going to Yuan Mansion?" Huo Xifei smiled faintly, sat on the armchair beside the desk, and asked leisurely.
"Oh, isn't it ridiculous that Master Huo asked such a question?" Zheng Xun sneered, "Doesn't Master Huo know exactly what I did when I went to the Yuan Mansion?"
"Breaking into a noble lady's boudoir at night! Just this one move could cost you half your life!" Huo Xifei said in a cold voice.
"Master Huo, this concerns a woman's reputation, you'd better watch your mouth!" Zheng Xun's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he stared at Huo Xifei fixedly.
Huo Xifei raised his eyebrows: "I can't believe that the Ghost Face, who is always known for being cold-blooded and ruthless, actually has some emotions. It's really rare to see!"
"You don't need to worry about this, just keep your mouth shut!" Zheng Xun said solemnly. He knew that if this matter became known, Cui Ruxu's reputation would be completely ruined.
"What if I don't?" Huo Xifei smiled coldly.
"Then you try it!" Although Zheng Xun was still weak all over, he forced himself to stand up with his arms and glared at Huo Xifei fiercely.
"I really didn't expect that someone like you could fall in love. It's really rare!" Huo Xifei narrowed his eyes and said to Zheng Xun.
"Hmph, don't hurt her. Besides, she is your fiancée's cousin. Any harm will affect the whole body. You have to be cautious!" Zheng Xun gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry, I, Huo Xifei, am not so despicable as to gamble with a woman's reputation!" Huo Xifei got the answer he wanted and said to Zheng Xun, "There is just one thing I'm extremely curious about."
Zheng Xun looked at Huo Xifei without saying anything.
Huo Xifei then asked, "Why did you reveal your identity to me?"
